AL Central Community Projection Results
After weeding out the jokesters -- No, the Sox aren't going to win 162 this year. No, the Twins didn't win the division already with 117 wins. Yes, the Royals are going to win more than 20 games -- it's clear the South Side Sox community feels that the AL Central is a 3 team race, projecting to the...

Carlos Quentin Community Projection Results
The Carlos Quentin projection was easily our most consistent effort so far. I only had to throw out one entry -- somebody who thought Q! would slug .340 while hitting 35 HR -- and as you can see by the spread from the standard deviations, there wasn't a whole lot of variation overall. Carlos...
Building a Better Projection: Gavin Floyd
We've taken a bit of a break from our community projection series as I hired on some new editors to a mid-4 figure sum using some Verizon Math. Seriously though, they're cranking out some quality content, which leaves more of my non-scat porn viewing time to tackle some meatier posts...
Josh Fields Community Projection Results
Overall, I didn't have to do much to clean up this projection, only deleting two clearly erroneous entries. I suspect that's because you can pretty much justify any projection from 35 HRs (roughly Fields' prorated total in '07) to 3 Games Started at 3B (I assume WTGTD has Fields shifting to 1B to...
Josh Fields Community Projection
Fields was supposed to be the White Sox third baseman of the future. The former first round pick filled in admirably during the 2007 season, hitting 23 home runs, though his strikeout rate and OBP left plenty of room for growth. But a funny thing happened on the way to the Joe Crede trade last...

Alexei Ramirez Community Projection
Alexei Ramirez is next up in our community projection project. Alexei began the '08 season as the opening day center fielder, an experiment that only lasted two games. He played sporadically (and poorly) in over the season's first 6 weeks, before making Juan Uribe the White Sox version of Wally...

Chris Getz: Community Projection
Looking back through the archives, we had started our community projections at this time last year. Seeing as I don't feel a need to add to the cacophony of A-Roid chatter, this seems like as good a time as any to start once again. We started off with "our two young second baseman," Alexei...
